My heart stopped at the sight. Aylin's scream was ear-piercing, filled with pain and fury. She turned on the Jayden male with her fangs and claws even as blood poured out of her neck, slashing his cheek. At the same time, Jake and I dove for the male. As he cried out in pain, I couldn't tell who wa
